Of course.  I've applied all 4 versions of it at various times and it still doesn't
matter.  Then again, look at all the security and other fixes they come out with
constantly.  Hard to believe that 10 months ago, I was a die-hard MS person.

Now, to give fair gripe, I've only encountered a couple of hangup issues with
Linux.  Mandrake 7.0 would hang on me during shutdown when in KDE.  I had one
session on my laptop with SuSE 6.4 on shutdown with KDE, since switching to Gnome
haven't encountered any.  Though, periodically on a system start/restart the pcmcia
modules wouldn't load and it would hang up or lock when trying to load the NIC
drivers on pcmcia startup.

Out of the two, I'll take the minor Linux issues over Windows problems anytime.
